UEFA Champions League: Your Running Commentary

ChampsLeagueLogo

It's a big day in the UEFA Champions League for two teams featuring U.S. men's national team players, as Schalke and Rangers fight to keep their knockout-stage dreams alive on Wednesday.

Maurice Edu is slated to miss Rangers' crucial match with Manchester United as he recovers from his minor knee injury, and the Scottish champions will need to fill that void in order to keep pace with Valencia, whom they trail by two points for second place in Group C. A Rangers loss and a Valencia victory over Bursaspor would eliminate Edu's side.

Over in Group B, Jermaine Jones' Schalke could clinch a spot in the knockout stage with a victory over Lyon and a Benfica loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv; however, the German side could also fall to third place with a loss and a Benfica victory.

Rubin Kazan already defeated FC Copenhagen on Wednesday, 1-0, to keep its hopes in Group D alive. Here's the TV/Internet schedule for the day's remaining games (all start at 2:45 p.m.):

  • DirecTV/Fox Soccer Channel - Rangers vs. Manchester United
  • DirecTV/Fox Soccer Plus/Fox Soccer.tv - Tottenham vs. Werder Bremen

The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t...
